You have to support it with a tail stock on one end and in the chuck on the other

quote Dyotat100:

You need a 5c collet 4″ chuck. Screws in and now you have a chuck on your indexer.

You can get a collet blank and machine it to the tubing size. But then it’s for onl that size.

Thanks,but the tube still won’t go thru the collet, I have a 24″ tube.
